long term effects of meningitis

Post a new topicby livingwith on Fri Aug 17, 2007 7:05 pm

Has anyone suffered chronic back pain as a long term effect of Menintigis? My husband contracted it in 1972, and has gradual, increasing lower back pain to this day. He is to the point of not being able to function. There has been very little research done on this subject. I would greatly appreciate anyone’s help that has more information.
Thank you!...Read the full article

Hi There,

My sister just got meningitis and all the information leads us to the fungal kind. He might look into an antifungal diet as there seems to be longterm effects such as back pain in the event of a fungal problem leading to Meningitis. go to knowthecause.com for great info on this topic. You have to look around but it's all there. Doesn't seem like they look at this kind much but I think there's alot more to it...
